I've seen Hyrule Total War and I loved it. You could easily place the Cliff Lords' area of origin far beyond the Gerudo Desert, and rather than simply wanting to explore you could give him some sort of mission from the high-ups of the Legion. However, HTW isn't exactly canon, so if Baklava wants to take the Zelda Wiki as gospel there may be some problems.

On an IC note, I feel as if Christmas has come early. This situation could not have been crafted more perfectly for me, Baklava, so for that I thank you. Will you be wanting to control the two captors or can I? I'm not one for powerplaying but Cain has a pretty incredible advantage in this situation. I feel a good deal depends on when exactly 'the boss' is going to arrive.
